Argentina Ireland TV coverage

TarfHead

On the SKY Sports site, it's not listed for live coverage but the club are having a draw before TV coverage of the match.

So unless someone in Castle Avenue has their own satellite anyone know of where to get SKY Sports TV listings for 26 May ?

I guess I could just wait another couple of days and get it from www.radiotimes.com but I'm impatient to know.

Excuse me for bumping my own post but, according to Newstalk, currently no UK or Irish broadcasters have secured rights to this footage.

I've mailed info@irishrugby.ie for details.

I've checked the schedules for 26/27 May and neither Setanta nor SKY have it listed. I recall SKY having coverage of Wales in Argentina 12 months ago.

let us know if its being televised if you find out!

Yeah I would definitely be interested in watching the games as long as they are not at all hours of the night. Even then I would want to watch delayed coverage.

oh well, looks like it'll have to be downloaded

I think there is only a 4 hour time difference between Ireland and Argentina, so that should not be an issue for a broadcaster/viewer...

When is the next live rugby match on RTE? Six Nations next February?

TV blackout of Argentina tour

It is increasingly unlikely that Ireland's two Test tour of Argentina will be broadcast live on any television station. RTÉ Sport have received no confirmation from the Argentinian rugby union (UAR) regarding their bid despite the deadline passing last Monday

the argies will be able to sell the advertising with an enhanced market due to the irish viewers as well.

We are talking 10s of thousands which is buggere all to us...........

but better than a slap in the face, esp to a develoing union.

The only bad thing about this is that Ryle Nugent will be on commentary.

It wouldnt be a rugby match without Ryle

EdgarAllenPoo

True, it would be a bloody good rugby match without Ryle:D

Just checked the charter and double checked with my solicitor and smugness is not a bannable offence!

...we've a little bit of afters( I pressume that means the players sit around drinking coffee and eating dessert). What a cabbage.

He truely is an irritating plank - the Pat Kenny of rugby commentary if you will even Goerge Hamilton would be preferable to him.

I may just have to watch the matches with the sound off.

"This is unprecedented territory," said head of RTÉ television sport Ryle Nugent.

If Ryle is head of RTE television sport as the article above leads us to believe, then I think we may be hearing a little bit more from him as a rugby commentator. If he lasts as long as Fred Cogley, then it could be another 40 years or so....

Its only libel if it isn't true

Anyone know if any other stations are picking it up.
In the UK, and hoping to find a broadband channel or something. Don;t think the pubs there will show it or bother getting RTE in for the day.

Simon Best as captain!

Best captains Ulster, so it's not a total shock.

Should be interesting
